Empower the Retail Outlets
With e-Solution Retail Management Solution, an outlet is not
restricted to function solely as a retail outlet. It can be empowered to
handle additional tasks such as entering and processing sales orders,
receiving goods and recording vendor invoices as well as transferring
stocks. Hence, an outlet can be flexibility configured as anything
ranging from a retail outlet to a fully functional wholesale center
capable of dealing with resellers and processing credit sales.
You can configure the functionalities of each outlet by assigning the
appropriate access rights to the respective users. Through flexibly
configured work functions, you can achieve efficiency and effectiveness
in your business operations. For example, processing sales orders
locally allows faster response to customers’ requests. Receiving goods
from vendors at the outlets reduces the cost involved in transporting
goods from the HQ.
Effective and Efficient Retail Operation
Seamless integration of front-end and backend operations in
e-Solution Retail promotes coordination between outlets and the HQ.
Inventory, purchasing and sales orders are better managed to ensure
stock availability, improved customer service and ultimately leads to
customer loyalty.
e-Solution Retail is also equipped with a full-featured POS transaction
processing module designed to enhance customers’ shopping experience. It
includes support for point-of-sale devices and as well as a range of
features that can handle any situation that may arise in a retail
environment, ensuring fast checkout lines. Depending on your
requirements, you may choose to use the detailed or simplified
interface. You may also make use of programmable keyboards to further
simplify and speed up transaction processing.
Quality Information for Decision Making
Tomorrow's successful retailers will be those who have effectively
focused on every aspect of their operation: buying, merchandising,
pricing, sales staff, business hours, profit margin, inventory,
management, etc when making strategic decisions.
With remote operations integrated to the HQ operations, HQ is able to
collect and combine data from multiple sources such as point-of-sales,
sales orders processing and purchasing. Data collected can easily be
transformed into complete and relevant information, presented to
management on a timely fashion, thus enabling management to identify and
seize every market opportunity.
Efficient and Reliable Data Exchange between HQ and Outlets
e-Solution Retail is designed to take advantage of offline
processing capabilities of the outlet terminals, avoiding the need to
incur high communication cost on permanent connections between the HQ
and the outlets. Data replication between the HQ and outlets is carried
out using the Microsoft .NET technology to provide security and
reliability.
With the use of .NET technology, the outlets need not dial a connection
to the HQ but instead exchange data with HQ through the use of Web
Service via the Internet. This method allows outlets to carry out data
exchange with the HQ anytime instead doing so one at a time.
Secure and Reliable
Security control is implemented from menu level down to the
individual field in the transaction windows. You can control access to
transactions and master records as well as selected fields in the
transactions and master records. Access to reports can also be
controlled at menu level.
For the purpose of security, you can assign users to user-defined groups
(job function, employee grade, etc) to which different access rights can
be granted. In addition, transaction and record-related permissions can
be set up for each individual user to determine if the user can override
predefined business rules.
Access to the system is also kept in a detailed usage log, recording the
tasks performed by each user per login session from the point the user
logs on. Instances of overriding business rules are also logged in an
overriding log. In addition, you can make use of the built-in backup and
restore utility to backup in Winzip compatible format.
With these robust security features, you trace erroneous usage, prevent
loss of data as well as guard against unauthorized access to your
enterprise information.
Scalable and Evolving
e-Solution Retail can be implemented on organizations with one
outlet to one with multiple chain stores. You can also implement
e-Solution Retail on a phase-by-phase basis by adding outlets gradually.
e-Solution Distribution’s flexible licensing scheme allows you to add-on
new users and outlets as your organization grows.
You can also link it up with your choice of either e-Solution Financial
or e-Solution Accounting to take full advantage of the complete
end-to-end solution provided by the e-Solution Business Suite.
